Met's Costume Institute Gala - New York City

Okay this past weekend was the "Oscars of Fashion" in New York City so naturally all your fave celebrities came out dressed up and below are my picks, best and worst dressed.

Rihanna went Avant-Garde to me and although I don't love,love it, I definitely think its a good "comeback" outfit. Perfect place, good statement.




Ciara's look i love, love! The backless statement is fabulous! She looks in great shape andI would love that outfit for me! lol. I also like the clean, beautiful hairstyle that is not over the top and lets the dress do the talking.






Tyra did tyra. Outrageous and borders on mortisha from adams family! down to the facial expression lol but I love that she took a risk. No better occassion to take risks than at the "Oscars of fashion". I love taking risks with fashion, if you must-make sure you are comfortable in your own skin so it doesnt come off as crazy.

And Tyra is confidence!



NowKanye's Amber - The only problem for me is I do not particularly believe in matching lipstick to the color of your dress. All together no surprise there with Amber, I kind of know what to expect with her fashion-wise since she came on the scene.


Beautiful Ladies-Iman and Eva did gold silk and they looked fabulous, no risks there just beautiful dresses that showed off their curves nicely.


Worst dressed hands down - Madonna, I mean most of us love the material girl but what was she thinking?

Stay fab!

Back to doing what I love

Hi Everybody I have loved writing ever since I can remember. That's partly why I started this blog. But as life happens, we often get carried away by the troubles and schedules of life, and eventually we forget our first love. Next, we worry. Bout what to write, when to write it and how to write it. Then we worry bout who will read it, who will appreciate it, who will validate it. Atleast these happened to me. I was never happy at how I abandoned one of my greatest loves-writing-so unceremoniously. I was too ashamed to return especially cos everytime I tried to start I was weighed down by guilt and the silent loneliness in the blog. Many times my sister would say "blog about whatever it is you love, you can't go wrong with being honest, you don't have to go celebrity blogging cos its popular, do you" And finally, I'm here to do what I love. I hope you will come along with me on this journey cos frankly Its comforting to have friends, albeit cyber frien

Blog Challenged-there is such a thing!

Ok I have been a blogger for a little over a year and today I am wondering why no one ever told me about 'following' a blog. I only just found out today cause prior to today I used to check out my favorite blogs everyday waiting on 'thought provoking' posts! But today it all changed! There is such a thing as blog-illiterate but today I was reeducated! Now if only I could figure out how to put them on my blog?! Help, anyone?! UPDATE: I figured it out! peace, love and fabulousness.
